Only passengers flying with Qantas from Auckland or Queenstown in New Zealand are eligible and must complete a declaration digitally before they fly.

On landing in Sydney, they get a digital pass with a QR code for inspection by border and biosecurity officers.

The trial is operated through the Qantas app.

The article implies, but doesn't state, that this is intended to be the only way to declare. I very much hope that's not the case, there's already far too much pressure to own a Google or Apple smartphone.
